Questions & Answers
Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
As with other inhaled beta-adrenergic agonists, albuterol sulfate inhalation solution can produce paradoxical bronchospasm, which can be life threatening. If it occurs, the preparation should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy instituted.
Fatalities have been reported in association with excessive use of inhaled sympathomimetic drugs and with the home use of nebulizers. It is, therefore, essential that the physician instruct the patient in the need for further evaluation, if his/her asthma becomes worse. In individual patients, any beta2-adrenergic agonist, including albuterol solution for inhalation, may have a clinically significant cardiac effect.
Immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur after administration of albuterol as demonstrated by rare cases of urticaria, angioedema, rash, bronchospasm, and oropharyngeal edema.

Other Information
Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution is a relatively selective beta2-adrenergic bronchodilator (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY section below).
Albuterol sulfate, the racemic form of albuterol, has the chemical name α1-[(tert-Butylamino)methyl]-4-hydroxy-m-xylene-α,α'-diol sulfate (2:1) (salt), and the following structural formula:
Albuterol sulfate has a molecular weight of 576.70 and the molecular formula (C13H21NO3)2 • H2SO4. Albuterol sulfate is a white or practically white powder, freely soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol.
The World Health Organization recommended name for albuterol base is salbutamol.
Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution 0.083% requires no dilution before administration.
Each milliliter of Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution 0.083% contains 0.83 mg of albuterol (as 1 mg of albuterol sulfate) in an isotonic, sterile, aqueous solution containing sodium chloride; sulfuric acid is used to adjust the pH to between 3 and 5. Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution 0.083% contains no sulfiting agents or preservatives.
Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution is a clear, colorless to light yellow solution.

Adults and Children 2 to 12 Years of Age:
The usual dosage for adults and for children weighing at least 15 kg is 2.5 mg of albuterol (one vial) administered three to four times daily by nebulization. Children weighing < 15 kg who require < 2.5 mg/dose (i.e., less than a full vial) should use albuterol inhalation solution, 0.5% instead of albuterol inhalation solution, 0.083%. More frequent administration or higher doses are not recommended. To administer 2.5 mg of albuterol, administer the entire contents of one sterile unit dose vial (3 mL of 0.083% inhalation solution) by nebulization. The flow rate is regulated to suit the particular nebulizer so that albuterol inhalation solution will be delivered over approximately 5 to 15 minutes.
The use of albuterol sulfate inhalation solution can be continued as medically indicated to control recurring bouts of bronchospasm. During this time most patients gain optimum benefit from regular use of the inhalation solution.
If a previously effective dosage regimen fails to provide the usual relief, medical advice should be sought immediately, as this is often a sign of seriously worsening asthma that would require reassessment of therapy.

The usual starting dosage for patients 2 to 12 years of age is 1.25 mg or 0.63 mg of Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution administered 3 or 4 times daily, as needed, by nebulization. More frequent administration is not recommended.
To administer 1.25 mg or 0.63 mg of albuterol, use the entire contents of one unit-dose vial (3 mL of 1.25 mg or 0.63 mg inhalation solution) by nebulization. Adjust nebulizer flow rate to deliver Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution over 5 to 15 minutes.
The use of Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution can be continued as medically indicated to control recurring bouts of brochospasm. During this time most patients gain optimum benefit from regular use of the inhalation solution.
Patients 6 to 12 years of age with more severe asthma (baseline FEV1 less than 60% predicted), weight > 40 kg, or patients 11 to 12 years of age may achieve a better initial response with the 1.25 mg dose.
Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution has not been studied in the setting of acute attacks of bronchospasm. A 2.5 mg dose of albuterol provided by a higher concentration product (2.5 mg albuterol per 3 mL) may be more appropriate for treating acute exacerbations, particularly in children 6 years old and above.
If a previously effective dosage regimen fails to provide the usual relief, medical advice should be sought immediately, as this is often a sign of seriously worsening asthma which would require reassessment of therapy.
The drug compatibility (physical and chemical), clinical efficacy and safety of Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution, when mixed with other drugs in a nebulizer have not been established.
The safety and efficacy of Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution has been established in clinical trials when administered using the Pari LC Plus™ nebulizer and Pari PRONEB™ compressor. The safety and efficacy of Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution when administered with other nebulizer systems have not been established.
Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution should be administered via jet nebulizer connected to an air compressor with adequate air flow, equipped with a mouthpiece or suitable face mask.
